FAQs

I WANT TO WATCH THE VIDEOS ON MY TV. IS THAT POSSIBLE?

Yes. You can buy cables that connect your laptop to the back of the TV, allowing it to play what you can see on your laptop screen. Each computer requires a different cable so the best thing is to go to your nearest electronics retailer and ask them.

I DON’T HAVE A COMPUTER AT HOME. CAN I STILL WATCH THE VIDEOS?

Find a friend that does have a computer and you can lead the course and they can host it. You can also watch the course on your smart phone.

IS THERE A DVD SET?

No. We have no imminent plans to produce the course on DVD.

I ONLY HAVE AN IPAD/TABLET – THE SCREEN IS TOO SMALL TO WATCH THE VIDEO

The videos are only 15 minutes long. If your group is comprised of less than four people, an iPad should be fine. Simply plug in some speakers.

I’M NOT SURE I’M READY TO LEAD A GROUP

Before you decide, take a look at the Leaders’ Guide and Cheat Sheets we’ve put together. There’s a huge amount of information for each session to guide you through as you lead. There’s also a short video from Pete Greig explaining how to run the course.

HOW BIG DOES MY GROUP NEED TO BE?

As big as you like. At least two people is preferable so you can discuss what you’ve heard.

WHAT IF I CAN’T GET THE DISCUSSION GOING?

The Leaders’ Guide and Cheat Sheets are filled with helpful hints and discussion starters.
If you’re still worried, why not ask a friend to come along and be a group helper? They can then get the conversation going if it’s a little quiet.

WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO DO THE BIBLE STUDY ELEMENT?

You can either do it as homework each week or extend your course to twelve weeks and do it on alternate weeks, but this may not be practical for some. You should only consider doing the Bible study after the discussion if you have two hours or longer available (not including refreshment breaks and food). The key is to not cut the discussion short because you want to get onto the Bible study.

ARE THERE ANY NOTES FOR GROUP LEADERS?

Yes. Look up the Cheat Sheets on this site.

CAN I DO THIS BY MYSELF?

You can, but things are always more fun with friends!

DO YOU HAVE TO WATCH THE VIDEOS IN ORDER?

Yes, please. They are in that order for good reason.

CAN I DOWNLOAD THESE VIDEOS DIRECTLY ONTO MY PHONE/TABLET?

No, sadly not. The files are too big.

CAN ANYONE DO THIS COURSE?

Yes. This course is for anyone wanting to grow deeper in their prayer life and understand it all a little better. It’s perfect for post-Alpha guests too.

WHAT DO I DO IF SOMEONE IN MY GROUP DISAGREES WITH SOMETHING?

Everyone is entitled to an opinion. You don’t need to agree with your guest’s views but it’s good to allow them to share their thoughts.
